You don't have to believe in God to want Britain to keep its Christian traditions.
You can never set foot in a church and still care about Christmas, Easter, our old churches and the traditions generations grew up with.
A new think-tank report suggests Christianity still matters to British identity, even among people who aren't particularly religious.
Faith is a personal choice. Our history belongs to all of us.
@Rothmus Those who are opposed to corporations and favor government do not realize that government is simply the largest, most monopolistic corporation of all and it has a monopoly on violence.
Part of the point of having a loving family with true respect and intimacy is a naturally-arising mutual understanding such that the "room" is already "read"- what people object to is not respect and sensitivity displayed towards other people's preferences, but the intrusion of a formal ethic of "room reading" into what ought to be an organic feeling of comfort and safety
You all take a lot of care to elide this very simple and obvious distinction and that is because you begin from the premise that a family is already made up of strangers who therefore have to formally negotiate their relationships
